Creating the Database in MySQL
Creating the Databases and User
First of all, you need to create the acore user. You need to run the script below within a MySQL client or with the MySQL command-line interface (CLI). You need to run the script as the root user of MySQL within a MySQL client or the MySQL cli.

Automatic Database Updater
The Auth- and Worldserver checks and applies all needed database files at startup.
To edit the automatic database updater you will find the necessary settings in authserver.conf and worldserver.conf under UPDATE SETTINGS.
- Start Authserver.exe, in the Build folder you created, under \bin\RelWithDebInfo or \bin\Debug folder.
- Start Worldserver.exe, in the same location.
If you get the following message in your console press enter to create and populate the databases.
Database "acore_auth" does not exist
Do you want to create it? [yes (default) / no]:
